Yes, QHBoxLayout in that case.

In QT Designer I can create such an input box, by setting the "maximum
size" of the box from 32767 to 50. Inside a vertical QLayout box! (Hint
for users: To create QBoxLayout select some widgets and then right
click->lay out vertically.)

I guess, 32767 or any size bigger than available means "share the
space", while a small size says "use exactly this size". I don't know if
32767 has a special meaning to QT (to me it's just 15 "1" bits ;-) ) or
does the same like 5000 or 10000...

The QT Designer XML section of the right widget looks like this:

           <widget class="QLayoutWidget">
                <property name="name">
                    <cstring>layGuess_3</cstring>
                </property>
                <hbox>
                    <property name="name">
                        <cstring>unnamed</cstring>
                    </property>
                    <widget class="QLineEdit">
                        <property name="name">
                            <cstring>txtPercent_3</cstring>
                        </property>
                        <property name="maximumSize">
                            <size>
                                <width>50</width>
                                <height>32767</height>
                            </size>
                        </property>
                    </widget>

Maybe it also depends on the QWidget->setSizePolicy setting, but I don't
know how to set it up correctly.

(I guess the XML QLayoutWidget/<hbox> means QHBoxLayout.)

I like this QBoxLayout layouting very much! It is great, that users can
resize the dialog to a comfortable size. (See e.g. IE's Security->Custom
level dialog, or the Advanced tab of the settings dialog, annoying ones.
KDE settings are much better when there is something big.)

Maybe that maximum size depends on some more classes which are not yet
implemented. Maybe QSizePolicy?

Thanks for moving the mailing list!

Best regards,
Ferenc
